I have a 150l Acro dominant display.
In winter in particular the ph drops to where the high is only 8. So I started to dose Kalk, using a peri pump hourly. Dosing 250ml daily, this accounts for approximately 0.25dkh. This appears to have helped and I now achieve 8.15-8.2 as a high. The photo should help show how tight I am on space.
Is there any notable difference between using saturated limewater and a Kalk stirrer?
I don’t have the cabinet space for a larger Kalk bottle and currently the bottle I do have space for is only enough for a weeks supply at only 0.2dkh daily. The rest of my requirements are met by All for reef.
Ideally I’d like to expand to a large proportion of my daily demands being supplied by Kalk for its ph increasing properties and its cost effect nature.
There’s small children, so I don’t want bottles of Kalk outside the cabinet to be tampered with.
Thoughts/suggestions?
